But John Butler, from the Institute of Advanced Motorists, has called for a more permanent solution.

He made the comment after watching footage of what drivers are doing in the highway's roadworks area where the speed limit is 40mph.

The video was filmed by a Derbyshire Live driver cruising at 40mph along the A52.

We asked Mr Butler to watch the footage and give his reaction.

Mr Butler, 68, of Belper, drives on the A52 once a week and said he sees people driving too fast "every time".

The former engineer, now an observer for the Derby Advanced Motorists group, said: "It really is quite dangerous for people to overtake and exceed the speed limit. Cameras will hopefully get people to slow down on the A52.

He added: "When you have got roadworks on a section of road the risk is higher."

Mr Butler, who says he drives between 39 and 40 mph when he uses that stretch of road, said there is a definite "potential for someone to get hurt", especially given the narrower lanes currently in place.
